My favorite things about the CC121 are the transport controls (I use it as a remote controller for Cubase when tracking vocals) and the assignable function buttons. Two of the default mappings are good (zoom in/out), but I always map the other two to Silence and Fade Out for editing audio parts.

LOTS of people complain about how the EQ knobs aren't arranged in the same logical order as in the Cubase channel EQ. I always grab the wrong knob and have to mentally switch gears in order to use them. But when you use them a lot, you get used to it.

From the New Features PDF that came with 7.5.

PROCEDURE1.In the Inspector for your track, open the Quick Controls section.For instrument tracks, the Track Quick Controls are set to the 8 default VST Quick Controls of the loaded instrument by default.2.Click Preset Management in the top right corner of the Inspector section and select one of the presets.The Track Quick Control assignment changes and gives you access to the channel parameters.NOTEYou can also make your own assignments and save them as presets and delete, rename, or reset the presets to the default assignments.
